Begin by cooking chicken breasts in a little water in a crockpot. Cook on high for 1-2 hours, or on low for 2-4 hours. Remove chicken from the crockpot and allow it to cool before you shred it! Remove excess liquid from the crockpot.

Place carrots, onion, bell pepper and celery in the crockpot. Stir in all but 1 C chicken broth. Cover and cook on low in the crockpot for 2 hours.

Then, stir in the flour into the remaining 1 C chicken broth until smooth. Stir into the slow cooker. Then, add peas, chicken, mushroom and potato. Season with spices. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until veggies are tender.

When veggies are tender, stir in milk before beginning to prepare the dumplings.

To make the dumplings, bring the milk and butter to a boil in a small saucepan.

When boiling, remove the pan from the heat, and add the flour immediately.

I love stew, in fact I am having beef stew for dinner tonight! You did not specify if the flour was to be all-purpose or self-rising. Dumplings won't rise if you use all-purpose flour without adding a rising agent such as baking powder or baking soda. Just a suggestion for you to think about. :)

Too bad they didn't rise! Looks yummy though despite not being a big fan of dumplings.

Thanks for stopping by! The pull apart rolls were yummy along with my chicken pot pie tonight! :) I made 2 dozen rolls out of a 2 lb loaf recipe. I even ended up with some for the freezer which makes them double good! :)

I am making Chicken and dupmplings tonight - I didn't see this one from Bobby Flay so am not making this recipe. Stews are such comfort food! Thanks for playing along! Can't wait to see what you cook for next week~

Sorry about the dumplings not working out! At least now you can say you tried this recipe, even though it doesn't match up to your herb ones. The rest of it looks so creamy and delicious, though! The perfect meal for a chilly fall day. I also love that it's a crockpot recipe.

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
